Chapter 69 Care From the Elders

The land in the countryside is not valuable, but it is only inconvenient. The hometown of Anyang has a relatively large courtyard and the house is very spacious. In front of the courtyard is a piece of farmland, which is convenient for farming and inconvenient for transportation. see highway.

In all fairness, the death of the old man in the family is naturally sad, but it is not a sudden death. When the children are psychologically prepared, it is difficult to reach the point of not thinking about tea and meals and sleepless nights. The atmosphere is low, but it is not invisible. Smiles, just a lot less than usual.

There are no entertainment activities at night in the countryside, there is no computer, and the only TV is occupied by the uncles. They put their rifles at people and sweep away the war movies that can’t kill anyone. Anyang has been busy a few days ago. I'm really not used to it, but An You was so dazed that she didn't want to post, and got bored.

Anyang's grandmother gave birth to eight whole children, resulting in many children in his father's generation, and even more in Anyang's generation. All cousins, cousins ​​and cousins ​​gather here. There are many people of the same age in the hospital, some even They look a lot like him, but for Anyang and Anyou, they only know their names, and most of them are not familiar with them. In comparison, the brothers and sisters who have a bad relationship are much more intimate than these cousins.

With the night wind blowing, Anyang put down his mobile phone and joked with a smile: "It's rare that you actually speak for me."

Anyou was a little cold, she tightened her clothes and said, "I just can't stand the second uncle's face!"

Anyang nodded, he knew the reason.

An Guoshu and Xie Yunqing are both teachers of Yancheng Middle School. They have taught for more than 20 years and have been poor teachers for more than 20 years. Zhou Zhengtao is the director of the Yancheng Education Bureau. It's impossible for An's father and An's mother to be just a teacher now. No matter how you can hang the name of the director in the school, An's father and An's mother are still only a teacher!

Anguoshu's ambitions are not high, so he just wanted to make it easier for him to be the director of the school, the salary can be higher, the benefits for old age and retirement wages can be higher, so I asked Zhou Zhengtao several times for this. He promises well every time at the dinner table, but there is always no news in the end.

Because of this, Anyou never gave Zhou Zhengtao a good face. Even before the college entrance examination, Zhou Zhengtao's son's poor grades wanted to ask her to help make up the class, but she refused, and Anyang was because Zhou Zhengtao was always condescending when he talked to others. I don't like to deal with him, especially now that he doesn't need to look down on him at all, and it looks funny when he puts on a high air.

There are many cousins ​​coming and going in the yard, some will stop to say hello to him, some don't know him at all, but he and Anyou chat from time to time.

Because there were too many people, Anyang and a cousin slept in the same room at night and couldn't enter the apocalyptic world. Fortunately, he said hello in advance, and the base had nothing to do recently.

Well, the top chief of the Survivor Base who can live in a presidential suite in the last days has to live in the same room with others!

The next day, relatives and friends came one after another. The funerals in the countryside are not so particular. I don’t know what other places are like. Anyway, relatives, friends and neighbors in Yancheng villages came to give gifts. Burn incense sticks, burn some paper money to express sadness, then eat and drink like an ordinary banquet. Some people even punch and drink loudly. Of course, the one who should cry is still crying. In the end, the Taoist priest finished the ritual and carried the coffin to the mountain and buried it. , the funeral is over.

There was sad music on the roof, and the voices of people downstairs were noisy.

Sure enough, there is nothing to do with Anyang. Whether receiving guests or guarding the spirit, other cousins, cousins, and cousins ​​will take care of it. They will not ask for his and Anyou's opinions on anything. The cutscenes are essential, making Anyang smile bitterly, feeling that his two brothers and sisters are a bit like outsiders!

Anyou is undoubtedly the most handsome of this generation, and she has just been admitted to university. She is very popular. There are always elders at the dinner table asking her whether she is in high school or university, which university she is admitted to, and so on.

Since there are too many guests today, the elders discussed with a few neighbors who are usually close to each other, and asked them to clean up their houses for the guests to live in. Everyone is neighbors and villagers. Usually it is enough to say such a thing, but the dead person It's different. In the countryside, things like bad luck are especially taboo. In the end, Zhou Zhengtao came forward and promised each family a big red envelope to solve the problem.

Anyang smiled and said, "Second Uncle is still useful."

An You suddenly said: "It's a fart, you can only use money to solve things, and you don't want him to pay!"

Anyang was stunned for a moment before he reacted, smiling bitterly for Anyou's cleverness, this girl's thinking is simply too wrong.

But what she said was right. The rural areas value the difference between men and women very much. The old man's funeral is paid for by his son. Zhou Zhengtao is the son-in-law. No matter how big the red envelope he promised, he will not need to pay.

The number of rooms suddenly increased, and the pressure on the room in his hometown suddenly became much less. Anyang was finally able to live in one room by himself. He returned to his room at 9 o'clock in the evening, and without hesitation, he opened the door of space and entered the apocalyptic world. He stayed for 36 hours. Come back again, the time is exactly nine o'clock in the morning the next day.

Grandma Anyang's ritual was only performed for three days. After three days, her body was buried and the funeral ended. Except for the lonely old man, everyone's sadness faded quickly, and they could laugh occasionally.

The guests have left, and a group of An family members are sitting in the main room to eat a light meal. Most of the meals are left over from the previous two days. Anyang is not picky eaters, but Anyou has a little appetite. Xie Yunqing can see this, but she There is no other way but to fry some fresh vegetables as much as possible in the next meal.

The An family is flourishing and leaves, except for the children who have left today, there are still two tables, but most of them have no skills. At the top sits an old man in plain clothes, who is already very old, with drooping eyelids, taciturn, and dark skin. At a glance, you can tell that he is an authentic farmer. This is Anyang's grandfather.

This kind of family banquet will never be eaten with peace of mind. The older generation will be concerned about how much young people are paid and who they are talking about. It’s just that Grandma An has just passed away, so there are relatively few such topics.

The fifty-year-old aunt thought for a while and asked Anyang, "Anyang, are you almost twenty-three?"

Anyang put down his chopsticks helplessly: "It's already twenty-three."

The aunt looked concerned: "Have you found a girlfriend? Several matchmakers have asked me about you, do you want the aunt to show you?"

There was a pretty woman beside her who was gloating over her misfortune. That was Zhou Zhengtao's daughter, who was a little older than Anyou. She had a good relationship with Anyang when she was a child. After all, she grew up in Yancheng.

Anyang has been in a high position in the apocalyptic world for a few months, not to mention women, many people's lives are in his control, but he will not put on airs here, so he can only say helplessly: "No need for Auntie, I have a sense of this. "

Xie Yunqing also heard this while sitting at another table. She still remembered Ji Weiwei, who had grown up with her since childhood, how could someone introduce someone to Anyang? Then again, how could Ji Weiwei be more beautiful as a person introduced by rural women!

"Sister-in-law, you can't worry about this. It's not that my Anyang can't find a girlfriend, and he's not too old, so let's wait a few years!"

The aunt gave a long oh, and looked at An You again: "An You should also go to college next year, right?"

A black line appeared on Anyou's forehead and said, "...Auntie, I have already passed the exam this year."

"Have you passed the exam?" The aunt said that she was completely stunned, "Then you are a college student now?"

Anyou also nodded helplessly: "Yes."

"Oh, look at my memory, Auntie remembered it wrong." Auntie patted her forehead and looked at her with concern, "Which university did you get into?"

"Yizhou University."

"Oh!" The aunt was surprised, "Isn't Yizhou University the same university as your brother? It's a famous university!"

An You glanced at An Yang lightly, with a look of disdain. When she turned her head, she immediately changed her face and smiled sweetly at the aunt as if she had changed her face.

"yes."

Anyang touched his nose.

The aunt then sighed: "Tsk tsk, worthy of being the children of teachers, both of them have been admitted to famous universities, and the younger generation of our family is the most promising, right?"

Anyou lowered her head and dared not answer.

Zhou Zhengtao's face was not very good-looking, and he said, "The quality of college students today is uneven, and even if they go to a good university, they may not find a good job."

When the aunt heard this sentence, she seemed to suddenly remember it, and asked again: "That's right, by the way, Anyang hasn't returned to his hometown for more than a year, and the aunt hasn't asked what you are doing now."

Anyang's expression did not change at all. From a certain point of view, Anyou's ability to talk nonsense was in the same hospital as him: "I work at Jinguan, and I am mainly responsible for programming."

"Which company do you work in and what's the salary like?"

"In Mingyang Group, the salary is okay, and you can support yourself."

Only An You glanced at him, and there was a hint of sarcasm on her face, but she didn't reveal it. Although she didn't know what Anyang was doing, she knew it was definitely not Mingyang Group.

This Anyang, he really loves vanity!

Zhou Zhengtao frowned and said in disbelief, "Mingyang Group, that's a big company!"

When the aunt heard Zhou Zhengtao's words, she was amazed: "Big company! The salary must be high, right? No wonder you don't have to worry about finding a partner. There are beautiful girls who work well!"

Anyang smiled dryly and did not answer.

Anyou put down her chopsticks and took a sip, looking at Zhou Zhengtao: "I went to Mingyang Group to work in the summer vacation, and Anyang brought me in."

Zhou Zhengtao said in surprise: "It's really in the Mingyang Group! You are a promising kid!"

The aunt's focus was completely different, and she said with a stern face: "What's the matter, even my brother can't call me?"

"Forehead……"

Anyou almost choked on the drink, feeling that she was completely out of business.

Several cousins ​​who were a few years younger than Anyang all looked at him with wide-eyed eyes. They were very surprised. This is often the case. When they were young, they were admired for fighting badly. Later, they were admired for their good grades. Well, the question of whether the salary is high or not.

The fourth aunt of Anyang said: "My An Qiang is about to graduate. Anyang, you see that your company is not bad, can you bring one up?"

Anyang: "..."
